Media is a powerful tool—it can inform and educate or fuel fear and division. Its role in shaping narratives cannot be overstated. Recognizing this reality that violent extremism is not just a military or law enforcement problem, but also a battle of narratives, NCTC, @MediaCouncilK , and COP-K trained journalists in Nairobi on ethical, accurate, and responsible VE reporting. Together, we combat misinformation and promote peace. #Media4PeaceandProgress #CounteringViolentExtremism #TuweTayariKuilinda

In 2024, our rapid response initiatives under the Resilience Peace and Stability programme in Kerio Valley established inter-county and inter-communal peace committees. These committees continue to play a crucial role in addressing conflicts induced by climate change in the region. To enhance the coordination of these structures, we organized a meeting in Chesegon Market, along the border between West Pokot and Elgeyo Marakwet. This meeting which was supported by @denmarkinkenya through @tendasasa brought together committee members from @Baringo_county, @ElgeyoMarakwetC, and @WPCGovernment. @InteriorKE @rotichwisley @SimonKachapinK @BenjaminCCheboi
